Spinal Degenerative Disease

The population of America has a vast number of people who have a diagnosis of spinal degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, etc. Over the years a lot of work and research has been done in the chemical world. The drug stores on every corner makes our point.

Little to no research has been done to see what other factors can aid the suffering of Americans that suffer from degenerated joint diseases. Spinal Manipulation, Cold Laser Sensory Integration, exercise, and diet changes have proven over the term of my clinical practice to provide excellent relief for these poor people.

Prior to using Cold Laser therapy, I really was limited as to procedures that would help. Now we have an arsenal of very powerful tools and techniques that really do aid and help those disabiling conditions.

In the past when a severe degenerated joint case would come in, I would experience some apprehension, now I look forward to these cases. Within one to two months, the overall pain level drops considerably; people are able to turn their head to drive a car, they are able to start an exercise program of walking, and they can shop and not be in agony. They regain their life style.

Do our procedures reduce arthritic conditions? Each case is unique to itself. Genetics plays a huge role. We have seen some dramatic changes on pre- and post-Xray and MRI's with our procedures.

 
Anti-aging

Over the last 28 years of practice we have found marked differences between different peoples aging processes.  Have you ever wondered why some people age at different rates?

Our observations have led us to form these opinions:

Diet: the better the diet the less toxins, MSG, and other chemicals the less the tissue breaks down.

Stress: We all have stress. How we manage it, internally process it can make all the difference in the world with how fast our bodies break down.  Being able to disapate the stess is key. Our sensory nervous system will dissociate from over stimulus and the brain then has issues of controling the cell functions properly.  Our best defense against stress is routine examinations of the sensory nervous system.  The routine check-ups are critical if you wish to reduce the aging properties of your body.

    Ex. 14year old boy enteres clinic with chronic low back pain, his health history indicated that he had hit his head really hard on two occasions. One lack of memory was experienced.  This occured when he was 7 and 9 years old. He did not develope the lower back pain until he was 13.5 years old.  Our examination revealed major sensory dissociated states from directly hitting his head years ago.  It was our clinical opinion that the sensory dissociation occured in those injuries. Then over the next 7 years his brain was not controlling his lower discs and he developed disc pathology in two of his lumbar discs. He is very well developed. He has excellent muscle tone, he gets alot of exercise. And if he had not hit is head twice he would not have developed the disc injury and therefore would not have needed care.  

      It is our opinion that if he had not sought our care, and re-established his sensory nervous system properly, his athletic and over all health would continued to decline, advanced AGING would have occured in his physical body to a point where his physical age at 49 would have been around 60.  

     How many times have you talked to a friend that said that they had a great healthy life in their 20's and 30's. That they wished that they had taken better care of themselves.  Now they are suffering and can not have a productive life in their 40's.  The sensory nervous system must be in proper working order or aging accelerates!

Supplements:  We highly endorce the use of high quality nutritional supplements.  We will post more on this issue later.

Eating out is a quick formula for disaster, eating complex spicy foods can cause advanced aging in the joints and poor absobtion of the gut.  Peanuts and peanut butter are very toxic foods. Most soups, frozen dinners, perpaired foods that we buy in the stores are all negative dietary choices.

Our bodies need exercise daily. Twenty minutes of elevated heart rate can do miracles.   If you use it you will not loose it. Is our moto for maintaining and improving the function of the muscles and cardiovascular structure, of course the sensory nervous system is critical here to function properly, as well as the motor nerves.

The spinal manipulative therapy assures that the motor nerves are working properly. If we have spinal subluxations, our motor nervous system is impaired, then when we use it we loose it. So make sure your motor nervous system is proper also.

January 2008 exciting news and discoveries

A multitude of patients have entered the office this month with marked pain in the neck  and or low back.  The symptoms were lack of range of motion, radiating pain into arms, deep boring pain next to the shoulder blades, nothing would make the pain go away. 

We discovered with our testing procedures that all of these patients were sleeping with the head of their bed against an outside wall.  On nights when the temperature drops significantly, the cold air will penetrate the walls.

Sleeping in this environment over-stimulates the 5th cranial nerve. It dissociates and causes a subluxation of the fourth and fifth vertebra.  The end result is marked inability to move the neck, sever spasm of the muscles and pain into the arm, mid back and often low back.

We find that the cold laser sensory integration technique works very well in these acute inflammed conditions.  Within two to three treatments, the patients recover to a full range of motion and pain free status.

If you have sever spinal degenrative states, this cold exposure can really aggrevate your spine. Multiple treatments may be needed if this is your case.

Put a blanket on the head board of your bed or on the wall at the head of the bed or side of bed which ever pertains to your sleeping arrangement and the over-stimulation will be stopped. 

 
Black pepper and spice on foods.

A multitude of patients that have had chronic joint pain have responded very well to the cold laser sensory integration.  We hae found that the ninth cranial nerve and the seventh cranial nerve will dissociate from over use of BLACK PEPPER AND SPICY FOODS.

The end result of resetting these cranial nerves with the cold lasers have reduced or eliminated the pain in the patients joints.  Feet, arms, elbo's, shoulders, fingers have all been helped with this treatment.

We have had two patients that demostrated every clinical indicator of a disc herination in the cervicle spine producing sever radiating pain into the shoulder, arm, and hand.  They responded quickly and no longer are in pain.  One patient after several weeks of omitting the spices decided that he was well and returned to eating LARGE amounts of black pepper again.  After three days of overstimulating his taste buds his pain started to return. He immediately called for appointment. Was treated and now again is in a pain free status.

We also have seen Migranes and sever low back pain be a direct cause of spice and black pepper over use.  The symptoms immediately responded with the cold laser treatment and as long as the patients do not return to over using the spices they remain pain free.
